This is the well-known open access irony effect: a miscellany of links
on the theme for them's as like that sorta thing:

Wilbanks' effusion is now available via his site:

FWIW, I think Wilbanks is insufficiently cynical about the motivations
of the FUD-ites, splitters, and one-note one-man bands who populate
the OA universe, some are useful idiots, some doubtless in funded
through the pockets of the legacy publishers.

There's a fair amount of money at stake and it would be extremely
surprising if it anything other than a filthy battle full of
corruption and lies transpired.

Ho hum!

Regards to all,
